Will a non-intercooled kit possibly cause an overheating scenario.
Mind you my car is a weekend car.....sometimes driven in the extreme Florida heat.
I think the main attraction to an intercooler is max power at all times........
Not really sure if that is a priority for me. Just looking to make car more interesting.
This would be my first conversion to supercharging and while I consider myself fairly well versed in mechanical knowledge, supercharging would be a new venture for me.
I am not looking for a high boost application, just a little more "fun".
I would probably run a cold air intake and cooler thermostat (180) on the vehicle to try and mitigate any Heatsoak.

The supercharger does not affect engine operating temperature, in fact the car may run cooler because the calibration is set with the fans coming on earlier.
Intercooling allows you to run more boost over 5 PSI which ofcoarse will make more power at 6.5 and above.
you can run 5 psi of boost on anything and gain 30% more power
Heatsoak only happens with the key off.
As long as the car is running all temps stabilize to normal.
I think this kit is right up your alley based on your description.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions, I hope to earn your business.
Happy Holidays.
